Per hour pay of Khalil = $12
a. Angelica makes what percent more than Khalil?
Difference = Angelica's pay - Khalil's pay
Difference = 15.50 - 12 = $3.50
Percentage = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Khalil's\ pay}*100[/tex]
Percentage = [tex]\frac{3.50}{12}*100[/tex]
Percentage = [tex]\frac{350}{12}=29.16\%[/tex]
Angelica makes 29.16% more than Khalil.
b. Khalil makes what percent less than Angelica?
Difference = Khalil's pay - Angelica's pay
Difference = 12 - 15.50 = -$3.50
Negative sign indicates the decrease.
Percent decrease = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Angelica's pay}*100[/tex]
Percent decrease = [tex]\frac{3.50}{15.50}*100=\frac{350}{15.50}[/tex]
Percent decrease = 22.58%
Khalil makes 22.58% less than Angelica.
